Marshall County Hangmen – Parkersburg lyrics
It was a gorgeous day in may
Warm as it could be
Watching the wall approaching
The sky turned and eerie green
Bridge
There was no place safe to play
The neighbors house just blew away
Could'nt see thru the debris
In the basement with my family
Hiding under the mattress
Hearing the sirens wail
Then the roaring silence
Survivor I don't know
Bridge
Dryer up in a tree
My truck's in the basement with me
My whole house is gone you see
I shuttered with fear
On that fateful day
Crawling out of that basement
Destruction everywhere
Holding on to one another
Can't help feeling dispair
Bridge
My wife coming home that day
Debris filled the right of way
All the landmarks were gone
She had to walk
To what was left of home
The nightmare finally over
Or has it just begun?
If I quit now the storm wins
The cleanup has begun
Bridge
The governor flew by and stayed
All the people stood and prayed
Seven people died that day
The F-5 storm in Parkersburg that day
Warm as it could be
Watching the wall approaching
The sky turned and eerie green
Bridge
There was no place safe to play
The neighbors house just blew away
Could'nt see thru the debris
In the basement with my family
Hiding under the mattress
Hearing the sirens wail
Then the roaring silence
Survivor I don't know
Bridge
Dryer up in a tree
My truck's in the basement with me
My whole house is gone you see
I shuttered with fear
On that fateful day
Crawling out of that basement
Destruction everywhere
Holding on to one another
Can't help feeling dispair
Bridge
My wife coming home that day
Debris filled the right of way
All the landmarks were gone
She had to walk
To what was left of home
The nightmare finally over
Or has it just begun?
If I quit now the storm wins
The cleanup has begun
Bridge
The governor flew by and stayed
All the people stood and prayed
Seven people died that day
The F-5 storm in Parkersburg that day
